Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Occurring During Treatment With Palbociclib.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Palbociclib (Ibrance™) has been marketed since 2015 for patients with metastatic hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. We report here the case of a patient who presented with a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) during treatment with this new targeted therapy. The 67-year-old woman presented prodromal headaches followed by occurrences of two episodes of generalized convulsive seizures. The brain MRI revealed a bilateral, globally symmetrical, sub-cortical parietooccipital fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hypersignal of the white matter. The patient recovered after palbociclib discontinuation with no further neurological signs. A follow-up MRI performed one month upon palbociclib discontinuation showed a decrease in the FLAIR signal abnormalities. Altogether, the clinical presentation was consistent with PRES. This case report aims to encourage physicians whom patients are treated with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors to cautiously monitor symptoms suggesting PRES in contexts known to promote its occurrence such as that of arterial hypertension, immunosuppression, and/or autoimmune disease. PRES should be considered in the event of seizure, headache, and/or visual disturbances.
